<abstract>
<p>Spatial relations among simple features can be used to characterize complex geospatial features. These spatial relations are often
represented using linguistic terms such as near, which have inherent vagueness and imprecision. Fuzzy logic can be used to
modeling fuzziness of the terms. Once simple features are extracted from remote sensing imagery, degree of satisfaction of spatial
relations among these simple features can be derived to detect complex features. The derivation process can be performed in a
distributed service environment, which benefits Earth science society in the last decade. Workflow-based service can provide ondemand
uncertainty-aware discovery of complex features in a distributed environment. A use case on the complex facility detection
illustrates the applicability of the fuzzy logic-supported service-oriented approach.</p>
